(2-13) Remember Nefertiti's shot putting, from section 2.2 ?
Back then, when Galileo was the main man and special relativity had yet to darken our dreams, we decided that being on board the plane would make no difference to the distance Nefertiti would be able to achieve. Now that we've been initiated, though, we should revisit the issue.
Would being aboard the fast-flying plane make any difference to the distance Nefertiti throws:
in her own frame of reference?
in Cormorant's frame of reference (he is, remember, roosting in a tree)?
